Hi,
I have this product in my store that made for several different car model. It's impossible for me to have all car model in one url, so I was thinking is it possible to create different seo friendly url and all link to one product?
Example...
Current product name is SKU123 "Power Sport Auto Battery".... can be used on
-Nissan Altima 2003-2005
-Toyota Camery 2002-2006
-BMW 5-series 2001-2005
-Audi Q7 2007-2006
how I can I have urls that are like the following and all link to the product detail page of SKU123
Power-Sport-Auto-Battery-Nissan-Altima-2003-2005.html
Power-Sport-Auto-Battery-Toyota-Camery-2002-2006.html
Power-Sport-Auto-Battery-BMW-5-series-2001-2005.html
Power-Sport-Auto-Battery-Audi-Q7-2007-2006.html
I know I can create duplicated part number for each car model, but that makes it hard for store managing. Does anyone know if there any thing out there that allows me to do links like that?

You may want to look around the brakes category of http://www.lpiracing.com - www.lpiracing.com and examine the Make/Model/Year modifications that we introduced to that site. I realize that this is not a direct answer to your question, but it may be a better long-term overall solution.

I don't think there is any way to dynamically generate the navigation without a customization, but you can makeup pretty much any URL you want and as many of them as you want if you are using the SEO friendly URLs.
Take Greg's site here as an example:
http://www.lpiracing.com/Motive-Products-Power-Brake-Bleeder-0252-American-31p62189.htm
http://www.lpiracing.com/Motive-Products-Power-Brake-Bleeder-Ford-31p62189.htm
http://www.lpiracing.com/Motive-Products-Power-Brake-Bleeder-Dodge-31p62189.htm
http://www.lpiracing.com/Whatever-I-Want-31p62189.htm
All you need is to keep the p62189 part of the URL (this is the product ID, the rest of the URL is basically meaningless) and, if you wanted them all to display the category bread crumbs, the number right before the "p" is the category ID.
So, really, this is all that is necessary:
http://www.lpiracing.com/31p62189.htm
You can fill in whatever you want before 31p62189.htm
Just be sure that you make one of these the canonical URL.

Im not sure whether the long number affects SEO? I was told by someone I shouldnt include numbers in my URL's. That that is not the best way forward. But then, having the product model is very important, isn't it?

Hi,
The number is the key part of the URL that ProductCart uses to identify the product or category to display. As Sean says, the text before that is basically "meaningless" to the software - it's there for Google / people.
